Then Reid joined the Marines, and from that day forward, life as Makenna knew it would never be the same. She thought it was just another part time job waiting tables while she worked her way through college. She thought she had the fairytale. She thought she had imagined what happened that fateful night at the liquor store. She thought Cal Suppato was just another man. She was wrong. Soon, she would learn that every family has secrets. Every stranger has a dark side. And love isn't just a simple four letter word. From greed, to pride, to lust, Makenna is slowly introduced to the seductive world of sin.

A world many know about but simply refuse to see. **This book contains a HFN ending and may be read as a standalone or with book two, Callisto's POV, to be released Fall 2016
